OMERACT systemic lupus erythematosus domain survey

Semin Arthritis RheumPublished Cross-sectional survey study

Authors' conclusion

The domain inclusion and importance results demonstrate that patients and collaborators prioritize different domains, so capturing the perspectives of both groups is essential to ensure a holistic assessment of SLE.
